People don't take their meds,they need Pilly

Medication adh. is only 50%

Doctors prescribe treatments but studies show that patients only take 50 percent of
their meds. Forgetfulness is the number one reported reason for non-adherence.
What about raising your own adherence rate and life expectancy today ?

Relatives health at risk

Everytime a patient forgets a pill, his vital signs (i.e. blood pressure), get unbalanced and puts his health at risk.
Oftentimes, it's too late when the patient realizes how dangerous it is to forget his pills and that implies implies 10% of all hospitalizations.

Why Pilly ?

Pilly is a pill manager app that provides love rewards as a powerful motivation for better medication compliance.

Forgetfulness is the main reason for the 40% of chronic patients that don't comply with their medication. Thus, it is key to MOTIVATE and REWARD people for the cumbersome, yet essential, task of taking pills.

Why do we care ?

Pilly's founder had this idea when he realized how his mom had trouble with the unrewarding process of taking her pills.

Is your mom's health at risk ?

Medication forgetfulness happens to others. Really ?

You know your parents have a chronic condition, like hypertension or diabetes, and you also know that in most developed
countries there are very efficient drugs that will keep things under control.
We are all optimistic and we naturally to think that everybody takes all the drugs they are prescribed; but that's not true!
Most studies show that your parents are probably missing half of their pills.

Obviously, when patients miss a pill they don't die and therefore, you might argue that the blood pressure graph above is an exaggeration.
And I actually agree that it is the worst case scenario. Nevertheless we can say that missing medication puts patients in a danger zone that increases their risk of a critical accident
and that risk is totally unacceptable and avoidable with something as simple as installing an iPhone app !

Why did our users improved their medication adherence ?

We are the first and only iPhone app that focuses on MOTIVATION to increase
medication adherence.
When we initially designed our app, we thought about the major online services
that my mother liked. And in her particular case, they were Facebook for the
rewarding pictures from her social network, Skype for video conference with the family,
and online games for instant gratification. And these were the ingredients we used for the first version of our app.
Once we saw our first users were totally hooked, we realized that medication adherence was an important problem for
a large number of people and we found out that there was abundant research literature about medication adherence barriers and facilitators.

My mom is a very independent, strong person and she definitely didn't want me to manage
her medication. Actually, I quite liked her initial reaction because I am a strong believer in independence and accountability.
But in the end, she finally agreed to let me help her because I also had something to offer.
I couldn't help to be concerned with her medication management but at the time I didn't know how to help her with the medication process.

The only way I found was to transform her unrewarding medication process into a motivating positive experience.
I knew she was happy everytime I shared family pictures with her (even if unfortunately I didn't use to do that very often back then) so I
made an unformal deal with her. I was willing to spend more time to send her a daily family picture if she accepted to use the Pilly app.

So I helped her install the app, I started using pilly to share my daughter's pictures with her and I can tell you: nowadays she never forgets to check the app everyday
to see her little princess... while she takes her daily pill.

Every patient is different, but we are happy to provide some ideas for a few general cases.
Here are different links depending on the patient you want to help out:

Current medical treatments are wrong!
Not terribly wrong but simply wrong because the dosage process is currently done with a very
approximative approach.

One of our current users told us how she was prescribed medication for her hypertension condition:
One day she went to the doctor and he measured her blood pressure, he found it a bit high and after a few questions prescribed
medication with a dosage that happened to be too strong. Several trial and error attemps were made and they finally found a dosage that seems to work for her.
Not the best treatment, just one that works.

In the future, wearable technology will provide big data of the patient that will allow the doctor to observe this data and adapt the dosage until he finds the optimal treatment for each patient.
An optimal treatment for each patient means better care for all. And this is what we call tailor-made care !
